After playing the Chargers (Sept. 17), the Dolphins visit the New York Jets (Sept. 24) and then play New Orleans in London (Oct. 1).

The Dolphins last played at Hard Rock on Aug. 17, the second preseason game, which was a 31-7 loss to Baltimore. After that they played preseason games at Philadelphia (Aug. 24) and Minnesota (Aug. 31).

The extra time in Southern California could serve as a homecoming of sorts for a few players, among them quarterback Matt Moore (Van Nuys), running back Damien Williams (San Diego) and wide receiver Kenny Stills (Carlsbad).
